Paraskills in a nutshell

The Paraskills Project creates the support network, infrastructure and model for national and international skills competitions for people with disabilities.

We have outlined the project’s main objectives as follows:

Increasing socioeconomic participation of disabled employees in a structured and sustainable way

Improving lifelong learning possibilities for people with a labor disability

Improving the image and stereotypes of disabled employees; demonstrating that they are reliable and valuable members of the workforce not only for the sheltered, but also for the open labor market

Decreasing the reluctance of businesses and organisations to employ people with a labor handicap in their operations, decreasing or even closing the gap between people with a disability and the labor market

Improving the basic and vocational skills of disabled employees

Improving the information and communication links between the open labor market and the people with disabilities

Furthering the development of the P-Scales (UK-accredited model for assessment and certification of people with SEN) certification system

Increasing formal certification (ECVET) for people with a disability referenced to the European Qualifications Framework

Creating a format for skills competitions as a base for recurring competitions

Creating role models for people with a labour handicap
